From 1e2c611723420789e6098534fc0c57f12ee041b7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf8?q?Bj=C3=B8rn=20Mork?= Date: Fri, 30 May 2014 09:31:03 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] net: cdc_ncm: reduce skb truesize in rx path MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Cloning the big skbs we use for USB buffering chokes up TCP and SCTP because the socket memory limits are hitting earlier than they should. It is better to unconditionally copy the unwrapped packets to freshly allocated skbs. Reported-by: Jim Baxter Acked-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: Bjørn Mork Signed-off-by: David S.
